FoodSaver V3240 Vacuum Sealing System Review

Straightforward Control Panel

The FoodSaver V3240 features an attractive, simple and straightforward control panel: Speed Settings to be able to adjust between Normal and Gentle, depending on the food type, and a Food setting to choose Moist and Dry from.

Easy Roll Storage

Unlike the smaller V2244, the FoodSaver V3240 comes with a built-in roller holder for added convenience and easy access to the sealing bags. The V3240 comes with a heat-seal roll and pre-cut heat-seal bags. A manual and instruction book with words and pictures are included.

Added Convenience

The V3240 Vacuum sealing system includes a hose that can be used with other FoodSaver canisters and containers for added food preserving choices. The sealing strip can be used on up to 12” wide bags and a dishwasher-safe removable drip tray catches any liquid overflow for easy cleaning. This system also features a built-in cutter to make the sealing process easier.

Quiet Operation

This system seals quietly while doing a superb job.

Custom Sealing for All Food Types

With the FoodSaver V3240, it is easy to store any type of food. Softer food items can be sealed easily by stopping the process at the stage that is necessary. Sauces and soups can also be air-tight sealed by using the Moist Food feature. For an easier sealing job, liquids and soft foods can also be frozen beforehand to keep them from losing their shape.

Reinforced Sealing System

Because of its reinforced sealing power, the FoodSaver V3240 is designed to automatically seal each bag twice for a strong, thick sealed end to ensure that each bag will stay air-tight as long as needed.

Becoming Acquainted is Important

The V3240 Vacuum sealing system is a strong machine that works great to preserve food longer. For this to be possible easier, it is important to become acquainted with the machine by taking a good look at the instruction book carefully, especially if used by a first time user to optimize sealing results and prevent waste.

Built-In Cutter

The sealing system features a cutter for the bags which proves to be very convenient. Using it is easy: Lay the heat-seal roll where the manual indicates, lift up the plastic bar, pull out the amount of roll necessary for the custom bag and fold the plastic bar to slide the cutter across the plastic and make the cut clean and effortless.

Overall Verdict

The FoodSaver V3240 Vacuum Sealing System is an easy to use sealer that works at the touch of a button. The settings allow for optimal food sealing results by allowing it to be customized to the food type that is being stored. It can be used at normal or gentle speeds for more delicate food while the Moist/Dry function makes storing sauces and soups easy. The built-in cutter is convenient in using the custom rolls and the roller holder makes the machine take a lot less counter space with less clutter. With practice, this sealing system proves to be a nice, quiet appliance for the busy people who want to keep food fresh longer in only a few seconds.
